the cross!
the cross!
the cross!
we will never begin to understand the empty tomb until we embrace our cross given to us by God
our suffering is as much a part of our journey to the empty tomb as our faith is in the journey
st. paul gloried in the cross!
this is hard to do, but we must stop running from it
the cross offends our modern ideas of a shallow christianity fed to the world by tv preachers, talk show hosts, and heretics
success, wellness, "favor", blah blah blah!
the cross offends our pride that would have us believe we deserve better
Jesus said unless we deny ourselves and take up our cross
we cannot be called his disciples
embracing our cross brings us closer to the humility He desires in each of us
then our hope will be a light, a true and real light in the darkness,
our own darkness and the world's.

Amen!!!!
This is a truth that must be told, and I am so glad that God has brought someone and given him the talent God has given you, so that while this truth is being told, we may enjoy the music so much.
God bless you!
